They say football is a game of opinions and everyone has theirs, but it’s only yours that counts around here.

You make the decisions now, from who you sign and who you sell, to how you manage your budget. Will you build tactics around the players at your disposal or train them in your vision of how the game should be played? Who you pick and who you bench will affect squad harmony, and it’s up to you to manage it. Every decision comes back to you.

Get it right and you’ll be the star of the show, grabbing the newspaper headlines and dominating trends on social media. They’ll write your name in footballing folklore…if you succeed, of course.

With unparalleled choices both on and off the pitch, all within the immersive footballing world, it’s time to decide what kind of manager do you want to be?

Football Manager 2018 is available to pre-purchase now and fans who do so before Monday, October 9th and who have Football Manager 2017 in their Steam Library will receive a ‘Contract Extension Bonus’ discount of 25 per cent.

In addition, you’ll also enjoy access to a fully-playable Beta version of the game at least two weeks prior to the November 10th official release date, allowing you to start pre-season early. Single player careers started in this Beta version will also continue into the full game.

All purchases of Football Manager 2018 also include a free copy of Football Manager Touch 2018 for PC/Mac and Linux.

[No doubt, the laugh about laughter that is better, with this version also our national team would be at the World Cup. It's not a simple upgrade compared to 2017 or 2016, but improves and expands the gaming management and "emotional" component by offering more realism. The media sector is getting bigger and the football market seems to be improving and better managed.]
